MARES

“Chapera” – 2005 Hanoverian Mare

Chapera is by the Hanoverian stallion Comic Hilltop FRH. A dressage stallion himself, Comic Hilltop (owned by Jochen Brinkmann) is sired by Come On, an FEI level jumper owned and ridden by Princess Haya of Jordan.  Fit for a royalty too, Chapera is a queen in our stable — she competed in the 1.20ms jumpers and dressage Level 3, she is a teacher for all, while also the dam of: Charmony, Chapman, Quidam’s Charmeur, and now her youngest, Castello.

“Quinla” – 2011 Hanoverian Mare 

Quinla is by our own stallion Quidam Blue.  Her dam line goes back to our original mare-line starting with Ravenna by Romadour II, still in Germany, 6 mare generations ago.  Quinla herself has been lightly ridden undersaddle — she has top quality  gaits and lovely rideability. Her sporty attitude has been passed to her offspring: Leaf, Comic 1 & 2  and her most recent Casparo’s Champ.

“Palmyra” – 2014 Canadian Sport Horse Mare

Palmyra is by our own stallion Portland L, and similarly out of our previously owned line Goldwing, by Grosso Gold.   She is the dam of Mr. Lou by Montender — creating similar lineage as 2019s #1 FEI Longines World Ranking “Tovek’s Mary Lou.”  We are excited about this bloodline, with a feisty and world class competitive attitude.  Palmyra has been ridden lightly undersaddle, but her focus has been as a mother. She is the dam of Mr. Lou and Flink.

“Chinook” – 2016 Canadian Sport Horse Gelding

Chinook is sporty and quick — and noticeably by Casparo, with his gorgeous grey with black mane colouring.  Chinook has consistently won prizes at his first competitions, shows unlimited potential for the jumper ring, and has all the foundations for moving up in the levels quickly. You will have seen Chinook as a demo horse for the CSH John and Beezie Madden clinic.

“Quidam’s Charmeur” – 2018 Hanoverian Gelding

“Charmeur” takes after both his sire Quidam Blue and dam Chapera. He is a versatile young horse and impresses daily with his presence and style. He has already built a fan base at his first show.  We gauge him fully capable for the high-level equitation rings, as he already seems to be taking after his sister “Charm:” 2x Maclay finalist with a junior  and consistently 3-ring competitive throughout the USA and Canada.  Watch for Charmeur this 2024 show season; he is easy to spot with his silver coloured tail!

“Quality Time” – 2019 Hanoverian Gelding

“Quality” is more than a fitting name for this colt, it describes him through and through.  He is sired by Quidam Blue, and is out of dam Cocomo by Capone I.  He has a world class pedigree, a gentle demeanor, and enormous jumping ability; we are excited for his future!

“Mr. Lou” – 2019 Westphalian (Licensed) Stallion

Mr. Lou is sired by Montender, and is out of Palmyra by Portland L.  His bloodlines are proven and extremely promising. Tovek’s Mary Lou (2019 Ranked Longines FEI #1 in World Show Jumping) is bred Montendro x Portland L.   We are excited to add “Mr. Lou” to our stallion barn.

“Cash” – 2020 Canadian Warmblood Gelding

“Cash” has recently been started under saddle this past summer, and we think he will make a fanastic show horse!  He is calm, confident and eager to do his job. We are not surprised as his eagerness to learn, as his pedigree is Casparo x Quinla  (Quidam Blue x A Jungle Prince).

“Castello” – 2020 Canadian Warmblood Gelding

“Castello” is tall, flashy, and will make your head turn.  His pedigree is Casparo x Chapera  (Comic Hilltop FRH), which is a pedigree combination you’ve likely  seen on our webpage  at horseshows before.  We expect he will follow in the footsteps of his siblings Charmony, and Chapman, that are competing in National and International  level equitation circuits.  Castello has started his training undersaddle.

Castello

“Youngsters in the Field” – 2021-2020 These yearling and two-year old youngsters are enjoying their time growing, and are by the sires Casparo, Quidam Blue and Flex Junior, with dams by Toulon, Capone, Comic Hilltop and Portland L.  We are excited to watch them develop into fabulous riding horses for the future.

This stunning filly is by Karajan out of Quinla, by Quidam Blue.  Karajan’s phenomenal pedigree carries three Olympic fathers, who dominate international show jumping. Quidam Blue jumped at the 1.60m International level himself.

Retirees

“Elvis” – Unknown Birth-year, Minature Gelding

“Elvis” might be out of a Thelwell cartoon, but really he moved to our farm when his previous owner, Lisa, made the big move to New Zealand. Elvis has the majorly-important job of being cute, being a companion pasture horse for our other retirees, and a secret behind awesome photoshoots of the other horses.

Legacy

“Woody” – 1995 Canadian Sport Horse Gelding “Woody” is by our original stallion Widukind, and continues to have us proud of our early breeding program. Initially, thought to be a competent junior horse, his competitive attitude set him apart. Together with Lisa Carlsen, the duo dominated the Spruce Meadows Summer Series with countless wins, including the TBird Keg Grand Prix He now is a pasture companion to our young and growing horses.
